Chapter 438 Holy Inquisition
"Going there on behalf of Grandpa Li?" Chen Wan frowned. "Who made the mysterious phone call to them?"
Li Hanting did not hide anything from her and said directly, "Wanwan, have you heard of the Holy Court?"
Shen Wan shook his head: "I've never heard of the Holy Tribunal."
In her previous life, she only knew that there was a Blood Robe Cult that controlled the world and provoked all kinds of wars and conflicts.
"The Holy Inquisition is a higher level existence than the Blood Robe Cult. Its power has penetrated many fields such as government and finance. The global economic crisis was one of its handiwork."
"During the two days you were resting, I have checked. The Blood Robe Cult is a part of the Holy Inquisition, but they are two completely independent mysterious organizations. The Blood Robe Cult is more like a cult, and the Holy Inquisition judges and judges the dignitaries of various countries in the world every ten years."
"This time it's China's turn."
Li Hanting's handsome face was shrouded in a haze, and his eyes were sharp. "Grandpa said that he was the one who received the call. As for what the other party said, Grandpa refused to tell us, and only said the three words "Holy Tribunal".
"To judge and sentence the world's dignitaries?" Shen Wan's expression was complicated. "What do they want to do?"
Li Hanting: "They want to cleanse the world. They believe that China's rise is unstoppable and will threaten its position, so they took away the leaders of all walks of life in China for judgment. They must either submit to the Holy Court and be used by it, or die."
"All the predecessors refused to bow to it, so they were thrown into the maze water prison to die."
Chen Wan suddenly realized: "These secrets were told to you by Mr. Bai, right?"
Li Hanting nodded: "Yes, that's what Old Bai said himself. He was the first one to stand up against it, so he got shot."
Chen Wan got off the bed and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Bai!"
The two came down from upstairs.
The living room was full of people.
Chen Wan was stunned, "You guys didn't leave?"
The old veterans who were rescued by her stayed in her house obediently and did not leave at all.
When Mr. Xiao saw her finally come downstairs, he happily rushed over and said, "Xiao Wan, how do you feel?"
Shen Wan's expression was light: "You have already returned to your country. China is safe. You can all go back to your homes."
When they heard that she was going to drive them away, they immediately became anxious.
"Master Shen, we really don't dare to go back. Who knows if we will be arrested if we leave your house."
"Master Shen, please save us again!"
"I think the scenery of Shanhai Bay is nice. I plan to buy a house here and live here!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I also think this place is very suitable for retirement."
"Li family boy, isn't the land in Shanhai Bay yours? There are so many empty houses, can you sell one to me?"
"I want it too!"
The scene suddenly changed, and everyone ran towards Li Hanting, especially Old Xiao who was the most enthusiastic.
Li Hanting smiled slightly: "The house in Shanhai Bay is not for sale for the time being..."
"Li family kid, you are wrong. The house is empty anyway. Why not sell it to us? More people living in it will bring more popularity. Isn't that good?"
"Yes, whatever price you offer, I will never bargain."
Li Hanting looked at Shen Wan.
He didn't sell the house in Shanhaiwan to anyone because he was afraid that too many people would disturb her.
If Wanwan didn't like it, he wouldn't agree to let them stay in Shanhai Bay.
Chen Wan didn't mind, "I don't care, you are the boss, you decide for yourself. Where is Mr. Bai, I'll go see him."
"At my house." Li Hanting said directly: "The door is open."
Shen Wan walked around Mr. Xiao, who looked very interested in talking to her, and left the house and went to the villa next door.
Mr. Bai's injuries were more serious, and we thought he would have to stay in bed for several days after being shot.
As soon as Chen Wan entered the Li family, he saw Old Bai practicing Tai Chi with Uncle Li.
Seeing her come in, Bai Lao greeted her with a lively smile, "Master Shen, are you feeling better?"
Chen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mr. Bai, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
"Don't look at me as an old man, I'm still in good health! A mere bullet is no big deal, I'll be fine after I take it out." Old Bai smiled, not at all like a seriously injured old man in his seventies or eighties.
Uncle Li knew that Chen Wan came over to talk about something, so he tactfully found an excuse and left.
Old Bai walked under the parasol in the garden and poured her a cup of tea. "This is the good tea collected by the Li family boy. Try it."
Chen Wan sat opposite him and took a sip, "It's really good."
"Mr. Bai, I want to ask you about the Holy Inquisition."
Bai Lao smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. I have already told the Li family kid everything I should say."
"What about what we shouldn't say?" Chen Wan looked at him with a gleam of lightning, "You don't dare to say more. The other elders are hiding in my house and dare not go out. Is this Holy Court really so scary to you?"
“What kind of existence is it?”
Old Bai looked solemn: "Master Shen, for your own safety, you'd better not pry too much. After all, curiosity kills the cat."
Chen Wan spoke directly: "The Holy Judge wanted you dead, but I saved you. Do you think I can still get away with it, Mr. Bai?"
Old Bai's face changed and he said that was true.
After some mental struggle, he finally spoke.
"The capabilities of the Holy Inquisition are far beyond what ordinary people like us can imagine."
"Everyone said they lost contact after receiving a mysterious phone call. Do you know how we lost contact?"
Shen Wan shook his head.
Bai Lao: "I didn't know anything after I received that phone call. When I opened my eyes again, I was taken into a huge dark room. There were people from various countries in it. Of course, the majority of people this time were from China."
"You'll be taken away after answering a mysterious phone call?" Shen Wan's eyes lit up, "This is quite interesting."
Bai Lao nodded: "So this is why everyone is unwilling to leave your house. Since you can enter the water prison to save people, everyone believes that you can protect us."
"Everyone is afraid of being teleported away for no apparent reason and disappearing without noticing."
"Of course I'm not afraid. Everyone will die one day in this world, whether it's early or late!"
Mr. Bai is an open-minded and insightful person, and has long since become indifferent to death.
"Master Shen, the only thing I care about is Xiao Yan. I feel relieved to leave him with you."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I know what Mr. Bai is worried about. I'm really sorry about what happened last time. I almost killed your only grandson."
Bai Lao waved his hand: "Don't blame you, it's the Huo family's fault. I have made the Huo family pay a heavy price."
“Few people know about the Holy Inquisition, and I don’t know the details.”
"Anyway, there is such an existence that is above the world and the law. It is like the omnipresent air, spying on you anytime and anywhere. Once you are targeted by it, you are doomed."
"Master Shen, there is one thing you must want to know."
"That's the whereabouts of your master, Master Taixuan."
Chen Wan immediately perked up when he heard this, "Master Bai, do you know where my master is?"
